A Kirksville Middle School science teacher is organizing the school's annual Washington D.C. trip for this summer with an informational meeting set for early February.

Anyone interested in learning more about the annual seven-day trip to the nation's capitol is invited to attend the organizational meeting Feb. 5 at 6:30 p.m. in the KMS lecture room.

The trip will use a charter bus for transportation with the cost dependent on the number of participants, but typically from $600 to $700 a student.

As few as 30 and as many as 50 students are able to partake in the trip which will encompass a stop in Indianapolis, visits to more than 15 Washington landmarks from the Air and Space Museum to the U.S. Capitol building.

Chaperones are also needed for the trip.

KMS teacher Greg Elson is making the initial arrangements and can be contacted at gelson@kirksville.k12.mo.us for more information.
